Adventures in Africa: December 2008
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Short break in Wilderness. It's just a month since we arrived back in England - where has the time gone? Before we left Cape Town, at the end of our (almost) two years in Africa, we drove to the eastern side of the Western Cape, which was the furthest we had been out of Cape Town by car. We planned a route through the mountains, along the Wine Route and the Garden Route. It was spectacular with folded mountains. Archways cut through the rock. And flowers lining the road:. Anoth...

Adventures in Africa: February 2008
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 29, 2008. On this last day of February - Leap Day, I decided to change my header photo, to reflect our current location in Zambia. The weather has been very mixed since arriving two weeks ago and besides some blazing sunsets we've also had some monstrous storms. This was the sky as I hurried away from the shopping centre on Wednesday:. Thankfully I was heading into blue skies:. Hmm, I wonder what that was for? Monday, February 25, 2008. The new studios in Lusaka are progressing, after so...

Adventures in Africa: March 2008
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 15, 2008. Trip to Lower Zambezi. While Adam is with us, we decided to visit the lower Zambezi, the area beyond Victoria Falls, taking in Lake Kariba and the confluence of the Kafue and Zambezi Rivers. This is a vast area of the Southern Province of Zambia, the deepest parts of the Zambezi river forming the border with Zimbabwe. And a queue of cars had already formed:. Kiambi is a beautiful resort overlooking the Lower Zambezi, just past the confluence with the Kafue river:. But once we we...

Adventures in Africa: May 2008
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Manic Month of May! With three days to the end of the month, I was alarmed to see that this is only my second posting during May. Apologies to those who visit regularly - you must have thought I'd given up blogging. I would love to spend more time writing the blog and posting photos, but my schedule has been somewhat crazy recently. We have tried it a couple of times, so tonight Andy will pick some up on his way back from town. The food will need heating it up, after the hour...

Adventures in Africa: October 2008
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Last Saturday we were due to fly to Cape Town for two weeks, before returning to the UK. Then last Thursday a freak lightning strike put Radio Christian Voice off the air and all the new studios in. Out of action. Andy and his team of technicians worked through Thursday night to restore the English service with the Local Languages service returning yesterday. At the present time there are still lots of repairs outstanding, but progress is slowly being made. Without a washing ma...

Adventures in Africa: April 2008
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 25, 2008. Apologies, to regular visitors to this site, for my extended absence recently. We left a very green Zambia on 9th April. I took these photos from the plane window:. The surface water will now begin to disappear and the dense vegetation, to die back, as the dry season takes hold. There will be no more rain in Zambia until November by which time these views will be very dry and brown. Can you see the butterfly? Friday, April 11, 2008. Visitors of the animal kind! However, I managed ...

Adventures in Africa: Early rain in Zambia
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008/10/early-rain-in-zambia.html
Sunday, October 12, 2008. Early rain in Zambia. Then I heard a peel of thunder, which seemed a long way away and noticed a few spots of rain on the dry concrete and rushed out to take a photo, just in case that was all we were going to get! However, a short while later Andy arrived home so I popped out to collect something from a neighbour. By the time I drove back down our drive, the rain was pelting down. Running from the roof. It seems we need to be extra vigilant in our final few days here. Teacher f...

Adventures in Africa: September 2008
http://adventureinafricalynda.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Insects and trees in September. As the summer approaches more insects wake up from their winter hibernation, although there are always some insects around. The difference now is their size. The edge of the door frame below the spider, gives a good idea of its size:. The wasp is on a floor tile, about 30cm square:. Burrowing bees, buzz very loudly as they dig into any unprotected wood. I took this photo just as it flew off the guttering:. Thursday, September 25, 2008. The day ...
